Liquid biopsies are already used to guide treatment of people with confirmed cancer. They help monitor the spread of cancer to other parts of the body; identify a tumor's genetic changes, or mutations; determine what drug treatments might work best for specific patients; and reveal whether treat...
These findings expose a critical gap in understanding, as insights gathered through genetic testing may reveal patients at increased risk that would benefit from additional screenings to identify cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage. By combining genetic insights, family history and other clinic...
Genetic tumor testing is common in academic institutions but isn’t universal in all treatment centers. Yet one benefit of testing tumors can reveal which mutations won’t respond to certain treatments. A recent study found that women with a common type of breast cancer canforgo chemotherapy, as...
susceptibility genes. These findings demonstrate that cell-type-aware transcriptome-wide analyses can reveal new insights into the genetic and cellular etiology of breast cancer and other diseases. Similar content being viewed by others Refining breast cancer genetic risk and biology through multi-...
Wastewater testing grew tremendously during the pandemic. But is it ready to tackle the opioid crisis, air pollution and antibiotic resistance? By Betsy Ladyzhets Samples of wastewater can be tested for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, an approach that could become part of routine disease surveillance...
What can a test reveal? For someone with a defined disease, the use of genetic testing can be very effective in determining what medicines work best in treatment, doctors say. A 44-year-old woman with gall bladder cancer is among the success stories at the Mayo Clinic's Center for Individ...
Cholesterol homeostasis is essential for healthy mammalian cells and dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of various diseases including cancer. Cancer cells are dependent on cholesterol. Malignant progression is associa
6c–e). These breast cancer and melanoma LRS and sLRS results are consistent with our pan-cancer finding that SRS captures most large cancer SVs in CN-mappable regions. Loose ends reveal neotelomeres We next sought to investigate specific mutational processes engendering loose ends. We observed ...
